His tantrum was reality TV gold on Come Dine With Me and now Pete Marsh has become an internet hit.

The salesman from East Oxfordshire appeared on the show last night and laid into his guests when he found out he'd come in fourth place after serving up what he claimed to be the 'best food'.

Contestants on the show, Jane, Adam and Charlotte, found him to be 'pompous' and were left stunned when he went on a huge rant.

He fumed: "You ruined my night completely just so you could have the money. I hope now you will spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump trunk without any tyres on!"

Staring awkwardly at the ground, Charlotte timidly said to the other two contestants: "I don't get it."

The comment didn't seem to sit well with her host, who then shouted at her: "Well, you wouldn't would you? Let's be honest, there's nobody in there, love."

He then ended his rant with: "So Jane, take your money and get off my property!"

But that's not the only thing shocking thing he said during the episode, which is the first of the new series.

Here are six eyebrow-raising comments from Pete...

He wants to be Prime Minister

Peter announced to his fellow guests: "I would probably like to run the country," which left them pretty speechless.

Jane had a lot to say about that and told viewers: "If Pete was Prime Minister I'd probably go to another country if I'm honest with you."

But Peter was adamant he'd be good at the job, saying: "I'm very good at getting stuff done and I think I'd make a very good Prime Minister."

Peter thinks people do things for their own gain

The salesman made a rather bizarre comment about people doing things for their own gain.
